Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos 13% ABV, Tokaj Classic Winery 50cl

Deliciously sweet dessert wine with a creamy texture and flavours of apricot, orange marmalade, honey and ginger. Carefully selected grapes are blended in the winery in Mád, one of the three most important market towns in the region.

Produced and bottled by Hungary’s Tokaj Classic Winery Ltd. This displays a wonderfully rich intensity with notes of candied orange peel, apricot and honeycomb on the palate. This is a perfect accompaniment to apricot tart or pan-fried foie gras.

Tokaji Classic Winery is situated in the ancient town of Mád and has eight hectares under vine with an average age of 30 years in the grand crus of Kiraly and Betsak planted with Furmint, Harslevelu and Muscat.

The land was purchased from small local farmers in 1993 by two classical musicians. The winemaking is in the hands of Imre Galambos whose family has been making Tokaji for generations although Imre honed his skills at oenology school in Budapest. Modern, high-tech methods are avoided in place of traditional wine making and barrel ageing with the aim being to produce the best and most unique sweet wines in the world.
